You can but it’s finicky as hell. Definitely more than what the vast majority of users can do, and if they cared they would make an official easy way to do it. But they don’t want you to, they want you to buy a new computer

There is a way to circumvent the checker. I can’t remember what we did. It was like disable TPM maybe? If folks want to install W11 on their old computer.

You can by placing a registry key IIRC. But if you do that then you’ll run into issues installing later builds of Win11 and cumulative updates, meaning your system will be just as unpatched (security risk) as windows 10 in a few months.
If you care enough to do an unsupported upgrade for security updates, you truly should look into using Linux instead, like Mint
